Cloudy Eye Cardinal

  • #1
Anyone with experience with Cloudy Eye fish? I've been researching the net with this and been getting "bad water condition". I've been doing daily water changes 15 percent since I started this tank on April 14. I've also been doing daily water testing since it is a Dirted Tank.

My current water parameters is:

0ppm Ammonia
0ppm Nitrite
5ppm Nitrate

PH is 7.4
Water Temperature is 80degrees
Air stone
2 Canister filters running (CF-400 and CF-500)

Also, this is my original fish from my 55 gallon (2-3 years old). I haven't bought any new fish in ages (years). I've checked the rest of the cardinals and their eyes are okay along with the rest of the fish. How can I cure my cardinal?

Usually it is from water conditions. But yours seems great. How was the tank cycled so fast? Maybe it got injured on something ?

I transferred my canister filter from my 55-56 gallon tank (CF-400) over to the 100 Gallon tank and bought a new canister filter at the same time (CF-500).

I am perplexed how it can have a cloudy eye, don't know what is going on.

Can you QT the fish and treat? That's a good step. Maybe it was a fluke injury if other fish look good.

You can use API Triple Sulfa for eye cloud.

Package doesn't say otherwise. I think I had red cherry shrimp when I treated my tank.
